I am SOOOO ANGRY!!! I hate this job so much! I've been working here in a group home setting assisting 5 women with mental disabilities for 2 1/2 years now. Every time something happens, someone quits or someone gets hired I get the shaft. The first time they hired people they took away a bunch of my hours, but I was able to get by, barely! The next time it happened someone quit and they gave me all the hours. I worked a 14 hour day, came back 8 hours later for a 16 hour day then went straight to class for almost two months. It was a hell and there wasn't anything I could do about it because I got the 8 hours between shifts.For the last year and half I've been working every single Saturday and Sunday night shift because no one else will work it (that's their drinking days). I've sacrificed a lot for this job, I always come in when they need me, and I've called in twice in 2 1/2 years! I'm not a crappy worker!
So this time they decided to hire a bunch of people and since I graduated from college this month and I'm looking for jobs, I guess they decided to force me to quit. I got my schedule today and I'm going from 25 hours a week to 2 days the entire month!!! I am so far beyond mad! This job is a such a joke.
Is anyone familiar with unemployment for people whose hours are cut? I've already applied for it. I know I don't have to look for jobs, but I have been for about a month now. Also, do I tell my boss or let them tell her? I assume she will find out pretty quick from them? I called my boss, but I'm sure she saw my number and didn't answer. I can't believe they think they can do this to me and I will just sit back and let it happen. I'm the only educated person there, including my boss! That's another thing that really gets under my skin. That and my supervisor worked my same position for a month and quit because she couldn't hack it, then was hired to be a supervisor a year later.
